Trading Video Games for Musical Creativity: How Learning an Instrument Can Boost Your Child's Skills


Are you tired of seeing your child spend countless hours playing video games and scrolling through social media feeds? While video games and social media can be entertaining and provide some benefits, excessive use can lead to negative effects such as a lack of physical activity and decreased social skills. Instead of letting your child spend all their free time on these activities, why not encourage them to learn a musical instrument and channel their creativity into composing music for video games?


Learning an instrument has numerous benefits for children, including improved cognitive skills, enhanced creativity, and increased confidence. By learning to play an instrument, children develop their coordination, concentration, and memory, which can also help improve their academic performance. As they progress, they gain a sense of achievement and pride in their accomplishments, which can boost their self-esteem and confidence.


Composing music for video games is a unique and exciting way for children to express their creativity and put their musical skills to the test. By learning an instrument, they can develop their music theory knowledge, which is essential for composing music. They can also experiment with different sounds and effects to create the perfect soundtrack for different video game scenarios.


At YMU, we offer a variety of music programs and electives that can help your child unlock their musical potential and develop skills in composing music for video games. Our experienced instructors and collaborative online community provides a supportive learning environment for your child to grow and develop their musical talents.
